A 60-year-old Montgomery County woman faces several charges after a car chase through three counties Tuesday afternoon, State Police said.

Kathleen Rajter of Fort Johnson, who was wanted for questioning by Saratoga Springs police, was traveling west on Route 67 in Charlton about 1 p.m. when a trooper tried to pull her over, police said. She refused and then drove into Montgomery County, into Amsterdam and then north into Fulton County, troopers said.

After Rajter turned west on Route 29 in Broadalbin, her car struck a Fulton County sheriff's car, police said. The pursuit ended at 1:24 p.m. when a State Police cruiser forced her car off the road as she tried to turn onto Steele Avenue Extension in Johnstown, said police, who said she was taken into custody without a struggle.

Police estimated they had covered 30 miles and that Rajter's car had hit a top speed of 75 mph. No one was hurt. She faces vehicle and traffic charges as well as criminal charges in Fulton and Saratoga counties, but troopers did not have specifics.
